The information failed to charge any malice and as the state did not amend it, the boy: were turned loose on a_demurrer. Another information was then flled, charging them with unlawful assemblags, and a second demurrer was overruled.

The long cher'shed plan of Superintendent Sawyer to have a night school started for the benefit of those who have been denied the chance of getting an edcation seems likely to be tried In earnest within the next few weeks. The president of the school board, who was instfucted to advertise for all who wished to join the elasses, has made & very slight effort in that direction, but has secured the names of twenty-four. The first sess'on will be held on the evening of January 7, at the Bloomer school. Only one teacher will be employed at the outset, but the corps will be increased as fast as may be found necessary. As soon as It becomes gen- erally known that the plan is to be tried it s thought that the number who will take ad- vantage of the opportunity will be largely in- creased. oe The Encyclopedic Dictionary and all art follos.

The company was rep- resented by A. Potter and J. R. Web- ster of Omaha, and the entire afternoon, trom 4 o'clock until 7:15, was taken up with an effort to come to an agreement. The ordi- nance, as it was amended to suit the com- pany’s representatives, will in all probability be passed next Friday evening, when the next meeting is to be held. The council made some jmportant changes in the ordinance which was presented by the city attorney last Friday night. That part which required the company to build a depot at the corner of Ninth street and Broad- way was cut out, the company representing that it would be impossible to guarantee a depot on any particular spot, inasmuch as a location would have to be fixed upon which would suit the railroads, The princi- pal object the company was alming at was to unite as many roads as possible in a union depot echeme, and to bind them to locate the depot at the corner of Broadway and Ninth street might “queer” proceedings en- tirely. The ordinance still provides, how ever, that in order to keep the right of way a suitable depot must be built at some point along the proposed route. An addition was made granting the right to build one switch at such a point as might be most convenient, and to grade an approach for a distance of 100 feet. Without this the grant would have been worthless, but the council held that one turn out would be suffi clent for the present, as others could be granted after the company had done enough to ghow that it was in earnest. The pro- vision that the sum of $75,000 must be ex pended In improvements, rights of way and depot grounds, not for speculative purposes, but for actual use, was allowed to stand. Potter and Webster convinced at least a part of the councll that their representations were all true, and that they were not trying to play a bunco game of some sort on’ the city. A suspicion of this sort has been wor- rying a great many people considerably, but from conversation with several aldermen at the close of the star chamber proceedings the Terminal company seemed to have cleared its skirts of such accusations. PROPERTY OWX L PROTEST. Cltizens Are Not Through with Seventh Street by Any Meuns, The ordinance closing Seventh street, be- tween Ninth and Tenth avenues, and giving it up to the use of the Rock Island, has not been signed by the mayor, and the indignant cltizens are rallying their forces in the hope of getting it vetoed. A vigorous protest and petition for relief has been circulated uiong the property owners interested and has se- cured an almost unanimous signing. The petitioners set forth the claim that the inter- ests of Council Bluffs citizens will suffer greatly, and they insist that the authorities should protect them instead ot giving away property to a rich corporation abundantly able to to buy and pay for what it wants. It is urged with much force that the city council is not elected for the purpose of sery- ing corporations, but the people. Attention Is called to the fact that the vacating of this portion of Seventh street will make it difficult for children living in that vicinity to reach the High school; that it will greatly increase the hazard to limb and life, and that it will cause damage to property in that vicinity. Mayor Cleaver will for these and other reasons be subjected to a strong pressure to veto the ordinance. It is hinted, as usual in such cases, that the rallway company purposes making some great improvements, which will be of great and lasting benefit to the city, but the pro- testing property own:rs and residents. in that vicinity want to know definitely what the rallway company proposes < to @i the city in exchange for the vacating of Seventh street. They think the city has the right to demand something more certain and definite than a whispered promise. If the mayor vetoes the ordinance, and he says he will, the protestors feel confident that they can’ prevail upon some of the aldermen to change their votes, and that the ordinance will not pass over the veto. In connection with this movement a_citi- zens' meeting s to be held at the court house Thursday evening at 7:30 o'clock to protest against the vacation of the street. The matter will be plainly discussed by fnterest- ing speakers. Every citizen who has an in- terest in public affairs is urged to be present. South B NISON BROS, Hollday Barga'ns.

This is one of the men who was made of stone, or at least he is now, He was re:ting as easily as could be expected in a pile of sand, where he had apparently been for some little time. Frank Guanella says that he has found other relics and pieces of the relics in the past, and, although he has mot yet vieited the place, he should not be surprised if this were a genuine find. On one occasion he ran across a plece of stone which looked very much like the oot of a man.

After he had left home to go to work one of the members of the family chanced to go to the door and found a mulatto ubout 1 year old sitting on the front door step. He was rather well dressed, well wrapped up, and seemed to be as happy as any boy in his situation could be expected ‘to be. Officer Slead carried the Infant to the police Leadquarters and Cap- e tain Gardiner and the boy amused themselves for about thres hours, with the ass stance of Deputy City Clerk Fox, who formed himselt into a commissary department and supplied eatables and drinkables for the youngster, who seemed half starved. He was then taken to the Christian home to be kept until a suitable home could be found for him. He was not quite a stranger at the home. About two months ago his mother, a white woman, brought him to the home and asked Manager Lemen to take care of her son. Finding that she had a divorced husband who was the father of the child, Mr. Lemen insisted on her securing the consent of the father and she left the place. She said she lived near Modale, Ta. Nothing more was seen of and it is supposed that she decided to e the child at Bloom's house as the easi- way out of caring for him herself. ANOTHER CASE OF CHILD AB Family Affairs of Mr. and Mrs. Emil Schultz Aired In the District Court. Mr. and Mra Emil Schultz were in Judge Smith's court yesterday all day long to plead to the charge of abusing the former's little vear-old daughter, Blla. A ho:it of wit- nesses testified to having seen the little one suffering from the effects of pounding, pinch- ing and the I’ke until her body was black and blue. They told their respective stories in the most circumstantial way possible, but when Schultz and his wife were put upon the stand taey denied every word. The little girl was also allowed to tell her story, and she also denied ttat she had been abused. She is a bright little thing, well dressed, with long flaxen hair, and created a gre deal of interest in the spectators. Her stor however, was hard to reconcile with the n of contradictory testimony that had gone be fory From the as it was brought out s, it appears that Mrs. Schultz is a second wife. She formerly lived n Missouri Valley, and it was through the agency of a matrimonfal paper that she first became aware of the fact that there was a man down here in Council Bluffs who had just been cut out for her. They struck up a correzpondence, which lasted for five months, At the end of that time they met by ap- pointment at Missouri Valley, and, after spending three days in one another’s soci- ety, the knot was tied. They have been liv ing together in this city ever since. An effort was made by Mr. and Mrs Schultz to show that the lodging of the com plaint against them was a plece of spite work. It seems that the young woman who filed the information formerly worked in the Schultz family. Her relgn in the Kkitchen was short, however, for her buscuits were all dough, the piano Keys were not well dusted and there was hardly ever any pie for din- ner. Five days after she was crowned queen she was deposed, and Mr. and Mrs. Schultz claimed it was due to her being unceremoni- ously fired that she had acted in this way. A brother of Mrs. Schultz, whose name is West, secmed to have been egging on the prosecution, and h's interest in the case, it was claimed, Was owing to strained relations growing out of a real estate deal up in Da- kota, in which he and Mrs. Schultz were in- tere:ted together. Mrs. Moxley, whose name was at first con- nected with the case, has not been interested in it in any way whatever. After all the evidence had been heard Judge Smith sent the little girl back to her parents’ home to stay until the final judgment is rendered.

The annual meeting of the directors of the Union Stock Yards company was held Monday evening. Willlam A. Paxton was selected president and John A. McShane vice presi dent. Last year it was just the revers: Colonel J. C. Sharp was re-elected secre- tary and treasurer and W. N. Babcock gen- eral manager. The board of directors is as follows: Willlam A. Paxton, John A. Creighton, John A. McShane, P. A. Valen- tine, B. F. Smith, M. C. Keith, Milton Rogers, John B. Sherman and A. C. Foster. The question of improvements to be made at the yards during 1895 was thoroughly discussed. It was agreed that the sluice- way through the yards from N strest north be made a brick sewer. This will cost in the neighborhood of $20,000. The contract will be let early next year. Another improvement at the yards which will be made next year will be the rebuild- ing of all the old hog pens. The cstimated cost of this work is about $18,000, The yard company has -done a splendid business during the year, and the directors are well pleased with the management of the plant by Mr. Babcock, who has been untiring in his efforts for years to build up the live stock market in South Omaha. Contest Betw n the Two Omahas. Considerable interest Is being manifested, especially in South Omaha, over the coming literary contest between the Crystal League Literary socicty of Omaha and the South Omaha High school, to be held in the Metho- dist church, South Omaha, Saturday evening. This Is the first of a series of contests that the Crystal League boys expect to have this winter, Compet<nt judges have been secured, one of the judges being Prof. Eastman, the principal of the Council Bluffs High school. The Crystal League Literary soclety is anxious to have a good representation of the young people of Omaha present. A special invitation is hereby extended to the High school of Omaha, the High school of Council Bluffs, the Young Men's Christian Associa- tion Literary socicty and the Plymouth Con- gregational Church Literary society. The question for debate will be: “Should the Gothenburg system of regulating the liquor traffic be adopted?” The afirmative will be taken by Otto Brown and G. Towle of the South Omaha High school and the neg- ative by C. L. Fritscher and C. Battelle of Omaba. Orations will be delivered by Orval Linnabary of South Omaha and Oscar Engler of Omaha. Essays and declamations by George Paddock and James Duncanson of South Omaha and J. W. Newlean and F. J. Gish of Omaba. Good music will be fur- nished. Machines to Be Assessed. Councilman Walters is after the nickel- in-the-slot machines with a vengeance, “Those machines,” said Mr. Walters to a Bee reporter, “have taken about $4,000 out of South Omaha during the past year. 1 am creditably informed also that some of them are plugged so that it would be im- possible for a person to win if he played all day. The gamblers have to pay the city, and there is no reason why the nickel- in-the-slot machines should not. The ordi- nance is now being drawn by the city at- torney. It will impose a fine of perhaps $25 per month for those who have machines in their places. Persons who refuse to take out a license will have their machines taken away from them if they attembt to run them." A — Burilogton Route.
